Mormonism is no longer merely a home-grown American religion, confined to the Intermountain West; instead, it has captured the attention of political pundits, Broadway audiences, and prospective converts around the world. While most scholarship on Mormonism concerns its colorful but now well-known early history, the essays in this collection assess recent developments, such as the LDS Church's international growth and acculturation; its intersection with conservative politics in recent decades; its stances on same-sex marriage and the role of women; and its ongoing struggle to interpret its own tumultuous history. The scholars draw on a wide variety of Mormon voices as well as those of outsiders, from Latter-day Saints in Hyderabad, India, to \"Mormon Mommy blogs,\" to evangelical \"countercult\" ministries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51677982654752,"sku":"NEW0199358222","price":34.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/5181ePrUedL.jpg?v=1779301202","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/out-of-obscurity-mormonism-since-1945-0199358222","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
